Instructions
Putting in the Fence
Measure spots every 6 feet along the fence perimeter. Dig holes a foot deep at each spot.
Saw PVC pipe into 6-foot lengths. You need one length for each hole. (Use the heaviest-duty PVC available -- horses can be hard on fencing.)
Place a PVC pipe in each hole and fill the holes with cement. Make sure the PVC pipes are straight when the cement dries. Let the cement dry completely before proceeding.
Take 12-foot lengths of PVC pipe and run them across three posts so that each ends touch a post: These are your rails. You should use three rails for each fence section: one a foot off the ground, one at waist height, one at the top of the post. Screw the rails into the posts.
Build the gate by cutting three pipes to 5-½ feet in length and two pipes to 4 feet in length. Screw the two 4-foot-long pipes to two 5-1/5 foot-long to form a rectangle. Screw the last piece across the middle as a rail.
Attach the gate to the posts with screws and hinges. Attach the latch with screws.
